Contested Idaho Dam Site Highlighted in Hollister Case
The Idaho Supreme Court upheld a district court ruling in the Hollister versus Clark condemnation suit over a power plant site near Shoshone Falls on Snake River. Disputed land lies around section 36, with survey errors discussed and a contested triangular tract crucial to the dam and tunnel project. The decision centers on the exhibit description and a dissent by Chief Justice Sullivan. A Spokane Review note previews vast irrigation power plans and regional electric developments tied to national irrigation projects.
